Oliver Stone Production Scouts Alberta

The Calgary Sun reports that Award-winning director Oliver Stone may possibly film his next epic in southern Alberta in 2006.

'Son of the Morning Star' would feature the story of General George Armstrong Custer who fought against the Plains Indians in 1876. It's based on the book 'Son of the Morning Star: Custer and the Little Big Horn' by Evan Connell.

Producers have already scouted the province for locations and Alberta appears to be their first choice, probably due in large part to its panoramic vistas and diverse scenery.
